Which is total BS because as someone who moved to the UK, I bitch about the UK all the time.
Sure, I respect the fact that I've been allowed to live and work here, but what sort of democracy doesn't allow critical thoughts of a government, country, culture etc?
There's a huge difference between if I said something like "The UK state should be destroyed, all British citizens are heathens" as opposed to what I usually say which is more "there's a huge class and wealth gap problem in the UK", "both sides of the gov here are only interested in filling their own pockets with money", "why does my tier 5 visa years not count towards ILR like my tier 2 does, why is UK so anti immigration when their entire services economy replies upon it?", "British people are resistant to change and cling onto old ideas", "British politeness is actually a myth, rudeness is just expressed differently here, the politeness is often insincere".
All things that are critical of the UK but valid viewpoints that others may disagree with. I couldn't imagine not being able to be freely critical of the place you live. What's the point in voting, otherwise?
